Heart-Centered Leadership for Inclusivity
Revolutionary leadership begins when organizations and individuals align with their purpose-driven heart centers. By fostering authenticity, creativity, and collaboration, they create environments where everyone can thrive.

HFL Endorsements
“In her new book The Highest Frequencies of Love, Donna challenges readers to expand their awareness. Donna provides the tools, not just for parents with children on the autism spectrum, but for anyone who picks up this book looking to live a more intentional life.”
—Peggy McColl, New York Times Bestselling Author, www.PeggyMcColl.com
“First-time Author Donna Laitinen, in her book The Highest Frequency of Love, teaches us about the, unique and beautiful gifts a child on the autism spectrum, brings to the lives of their caregivers. Children on the spectrum are hard-wired for authenticity, which Donna explains, is the highest frequency of love.
When we let these uniquely perfect children be our guides, we can see and appreciate their world as they need us to see it. We are then free to surrender our negative thoughts and feelings about our relationship with them and ourselves. Donna leads the reader step by step on a journey of becoming our higher and better selves – a journey to rewiring our brains for authenticity and our expression of the highest frequency of love.
This book is a practical and empowering guide for not only parents of children on the autism spectrum but for anyone who wants to understand the powerful principles of how to be their best selves.”
—Dr. Joanette, Founder of Emotional Social Parenting™, with a neuroscience perspective. International best-selling author of the Giggles in my Heart children’s books series about big emotions and feelings.

Donna beautifully captures the benefits and gifts that having a child with Autism brings, and shares how growth is possible for parents of these children.
